Dabi comes back with a shake in his hand, "It's time to eat Tenks." he said with a gentle tone; Tenko didn't want to drink the shake. He has no energy to fight Dabi off, but at least the smell of the beach from the seashells gave him comfort. Dabi gently sits Tenko up, "Open up please." he says in a soft tone, Tenko opens his mouth bearly any distance, but it's enough for Dabi to slip the straw into his mouth. "Slow and steady sips, okay?" Dabi says in a soft tone, Tenko takes slow drinks. The cold liquid felt good on his throat, but he hated the taste. It tastes like iron like he just licked a coin of yen. It's slow and grueling, it takes longer than average for Tenko to finish the shake, but Dabi doesn't mind. He promised to be a better boyfriend.
The blue flames want to melt the wax away, melt the wax and free the moth. But the blue fire has yet to learn; wax doesn't melt away; it only becomes liquid for a short time. So then the cage is rebuilt. The moth has the same dream tonight. It's a child again, the sound of its father's words echoed, "Heroes are monsters who hurt their loved ones!" Slap. This time the hand raises again, and it's the blue fire, "I wouldn't have saught someone else if you weren't a hero!" Slap. There are black and blue embers in the air, and the moth's wings burned entirely off. Here lays the poor silk moth, unable to fly, unable to cry out in pain. The moth's cage breaks slowly when the pastel pink orbs come to it. The poor frail moth holds onto those orbs. With what little strength it has left, those pastel pink lights bring him peace.
It's a new day, and it's time for Tenko's bath. Dabi gets the tub ready, hot water but not too hot. He goes to Tenko and gently picks him up, taking him to the bathroom. He takes off Tenko's clothes, slowly sitting him down in the tub. Dabi is talking about minor things, things Tenko no longer understands. Things Tenko has forgotten. What cartoons does he like again, What foods does he enjoy again, And video games? Dabi's phone rings, but he doesn't answer. Angel has a unique ring tone; the tone playing is the standard default. So Dabi doesn't reply. Instead, he places the guard over Tenko's face, so he doesn't get soap in his eyes while Dabi does his hair.
